Teaching Units

In Year 3 we meet Minou and Minette, the little French giraffes who teach us about life in France. They help us to count from 0-12 and to talk all about ourselves and our brothers and sisters.

In Year 4 Minou and Minette help us to talk about how we are feeling and to say where we live. They help us to find out how some children celebrate their birthdays in France. We learn how to count up to 31 so that we can say when our birthdays are.

In Year 5 we learn to talk about pets. Another of our goals is to be able to use the numbers up to 69! We take a look at some authentic French handwriting and learn a song to help us recall the French alphabet.

In Year 6 our main focus is to master the language to help us cope with a trip to a French market in preparation for our trip to France in the summer term.
